Question:
Sorry alan, its a 95 wrx

Answer:
In that case, we would go for a Simtek ECU fitted and mapped for £950 inc vat. We can gain power and torque from simply sorting out the fuelling and ignition issues, optimise boost, and leave the way clear for a great many other improvements if you'd like to go for it in the future. We don't bother with changing dump valves unless you are running much higher boost.

Question:
Thanks for your reply alan.
What sort of improvements can i make to my wrx? what gains would i be looking at from a chip? also what sort of price am i looking at?
with regards to the dump valve, i notice when after changing gear when driving the turbo has a small lag. can this be improved by fitting a dump valve?
Thanks
Gavin

Answer:
I need to know which model you have before advising further, as there are big differences in approach. The year of manufacture might help!

Question:
hello there, i had my 205 completely rebuilt by you a few years ago and i have been a fool and played with the boost (turned up to 14psi), i have now got blue smoke out the exhaust and it splutters and coughs now, quite badly. ive done a compression test and got 9bar across all 4 cyls which i\'m assuming is correct as low compression anyway. i also checked the turbo shaft and has a tiny amount of play in it, do you have any ideas on what else could be causing this? i\'m thinking maybe the oil seal on the exhaust side of the turbo but unsure. Also it no longer has air flow meter or dizzy etc etc so cant be that and is running an emerald ecu. many thanks

Answer:
A compression test doesn't tell the whole story, although it's good enough to make you look elsewhere for a bit. If you'd like us to check the turbo out, you'll have to remove it so we can collect it from you. We'll check it out and report first if you'd like us to, or just drop the car down if you don't fancy the job!

Question:
Supercharged ST24 Hi,there is a slight oil leak at the back of my engine,yet dont seem to be losing any oil.There also a slight rattle comming from the engine area,it seems to get worse when the car is idling after being on a long run,but when you press the cluch pedal the rattle dissapears,I dont no much about cars,but someone told me that this could be a thrust bearing,or an input shaft bearing,if it is,would the slip diff and paddle cluch need replacing.

Answer:
It sounds like the first motion shaft bearing, which can often be noisy with the MT75 box. I've heard some going on for ages like it! When you de clutch, the shaft stops spinning, and the noise stops as well. It isn't a clutch or diff issue. Best get the oil leak checked out.
